01 Jun Beers as Good as Gold

Twenty years of brewing has taught us that hard work, experimentation and creativity pay off. This year, we were proud to receive 11 combined awards at the World Beer Championship and the Canadian Beer Awards – including four for our summer seasonals –Summerweiss and Kirby’s Kölsch.

The World Beer Championship, the oldest American based international beer competition, is a consumer-focused competition devoted to finding and understanding great beers. Beers are judged on a 100-point quality scale based on taste and quality of beer.

We proudly took home the following medals:

Gold – IPA: Mad Tom

Silver – Hefeweizen: Summerweiss

Silver – Dunkel Weizen: Winterweiss

Silver – Imperial IPA: Twice As Mad Tom

Silver – Cream: Cream Ale

Silver – American Style Pale: Detour

Silver – Pale Lager: Craft Lager

Silver – Stout – Flavoured: Winter Beard

Bronze – Kölsch: Kirby’s Kölsch

Our summer seasonals were also awarded two medals at the Canadian Brewing Awards. Here, beers are blindly judged by a panel of 40 certified beer judges on five criteria – aroma, appearance, flavour, mouth-feel and overall impression.

Silver – German Style Kölsch: Kirby’s Kölsch

Silver – Wheat Beer – German Style: Summerweiss

You can pick up these brews, including our summer seasonals, at the LCBO, The Beer Store and grocery stores.
